Spec Review·Two stakeholder docs

Spot the conflict between two stakeholder requests

Keep both stakeholder requests visible, name the conflicting behavior, and review an explicit decision before the coding agent implements it.

For: Product Manager5 min

Before your agent builds, preflight the spec.

Pathmode applies six deterministic checks to a ticket, doc, or intent.md and names the missing outcomes, constraints, edge cases, and verification. It runs in your browser.

Run the preflight Create your account

No account or API key required. The preflight checks your spec in your browser. The local MCP server makes no network requests in keyless mode; your coding agent may send context to its own model provider. An account adds private evidence, attributed decisions, and teammate review.
